How Lopgfeliow's Excelsior" was Once
Sent Back to Him.


Longfellow's s. Excelsior is said to have
had a wider circulation than any other
poem ever written. 1t has passed through
innumerabie euitions and been translated
into almost every language of the civilized
world. One of the poets biographers, who
learned it from the poets lips, has told how
the poem came to be written but an inter-
esting circumstance, anticipating its intro
duction to the worlds admiration, is here

lyric has never since been the subject of.
But it was on the word Excelsior" of the

That was all heard of the poem at that
time. No doubt he did send it back i'm

victim of morbid sensibiiity, that could
be wounded to the death by harsh criti-

Inc Board OF Managers VIII Visit the
Coast to Select Site.
WAsHINeToN,April 26th.-[Special. Cap
tain William Blanding, of San Francisco, a
member OF the Board of Managers of the
National Soldiers Home (appointed in the
bill passed by Congress at the last session
establishing new home west of the Rocky
Mountains), arrived here yesterday from
Fortress Monroe. The National Board of
Managers met in New York on the 10Th
instant and adjourned to Fortress Monroe.
At the meeting in New York Blanding ex-
planned the controversy over the selection
of site for the Home in California, and
gave the Managers an idea of the expendi-
lures already made at the State Home at
TOWNSVILLE, which is offered as the site for
the National Home. After full discus
sion of the subject the Board decided that
1t would be impracticable to finally decide
upon site for the Home until the mem
bers of the Board had an opportunity to
examine the various places offered by diff
ferent parties in the State The Board has
agreed to leave the first week in September
for California to select q site for the Home.
To-Day General Franklin and Captain
Blanding called upon the President to ask
him to accompany the Board on its visit 10
the coast next fall. Blanding assured the
President that if he would visit California
be would receive warm reception. He
said that, If the President wished it, he
would be received without any pyrotech-
MICS, fuss or feathers, and that ali he need
do to satisfy the people would be to shake
hands with the Democrats of the coast,
who were anxious to greet Democratic
President.
Cleveland replied that he should like
above all things to visit California, but the
distance to be travelled was so great that he
He expressed his desire to have good fish
ing on his summer vacation, and Blanding
promised him, if he would visit the coast
to give him finer piscatorial sport than he
had ever had before. The President said he
felt greatly tempted by the offer, but he
would not finally promise to accept the
invitation.

Composing Night Soil.

The Annual Health Report for the CITY
of Lynn, Mass, for 1886, shows that the
disposal of night soil by composing for ac-
count of the city has paid clear profit of
S2,17O %, in the year just closed The sale
of house garbage has yielded only one-third
OF the cost of collection, or 81 600 20, in
consequence of insufficient demand in sea-
son OF greatest production the summer.
Two-thlTdS of the ashes and rubbish has
been sold at 10 cents load, realizing
SlO4l. But after all, the composing it
seems must he given up, as an intoleratle
nuisance 10 the neighburhood where il was
performed. This shows that the excellent
health management Of Lynn is not in
formed OF the magical defeating power Of
dry soil. Set the composing laborers to
sitting and drying soil (good soil) and
spreading it in alternate LAYERS with the
night soil as fast as il is dumped-the lay
ers respectively say two inches and one
lnch thick, or in some such re-
lative propOrtion-and we dare promise
your honorable Board that there will be no
stencil, no composing" and no night soil
left, but only better and better sweet gar
den earth, to be redried and used over and
over in the same way, until it will become
the best fertilizer ever known, being in fact
perfected plant food, ripe for immediate alb
sorptlon, as no mere manure, of course. can
be. What is more, the wasted two-thirds
OF garbage can go through the same mill of
Nature with the same profitable result, and
probably some Of your ashes may be mixed
with advantage in the final fat product
but, mind you, not before The expert
ment can be cheaply tried on a small scale,
and it fairly well tried, with resolute pur-
pose and faith, you will have solved grand
sanitary and economic problem, to your last
ing honor from more cities than Lynn and
from more generations than this-Sa,litayy

New YORK, April 27th.-The Tii5une's
special from London says: The Germans
do not yet trouble themselves to Justify to
the world the arrest of Schnaebeles. Bis
marck, for some reason, has preferred to
allow the French to spread their own YER
sion all over Europe. 1t would be more
correct to say versions, for the French
accounts do not agree, nor do the Paris
correspondents tell the same story. The
fault with many of them is that of trying
to prove too much.
Bismarck is reported to-day to have sent
a dispatch regretting the Irregularities in
the arrest, but saying nothing about re-
lease. Schnaebel appears by all accounts
to have been engaged long and actively in
encouraging desertions among the German
troops, and otherwise disturbing the peace
the Germans are trying to establish IN
A)sace- Lorraine
A Berlin correspondent thinks the weight
of evidence is, that Schnabeles was ar

Pope's offer of mediation seems prema-

| Schnabeles will be sent back if wrongfully
| seized, but Will be tried by German law if

Alleged Sanguinary Intentions of San

CHICAGO, April 26th.-The Daily Ne,cs
says A specific organization of Socialists,
known as the Red Internationals, or the
International Workmen Association, exists
on the Pacific coast. This organization
was founded in San Francisco in 1885, and
it is learned that the members are even
more radical than our Anarchist friends
here, and contemplate a general massacre
in 1889. In a card issued to the members,
their head center says: with our
present 100000 American Socialists, forci-
BILE action is impossible with 400 900

manage wisely we hold the game in our
own hands. We have perhaps until 1889
in which to perfect our plans. That year,
in Europe, will bring results, and in Amer
lea, if figures lie not, another panic, greater,
deeper and more widespread than the pre-
ceding ones, will be upon us. Then, and
not till then, may we risk a cast of the
iron dice. Then may we strike, and strike
